Final Thoughts

I really enjoyed the program and think all employees should have to take the program.  In order to assist our Patrons we ourselves must be up to date on all kinds of new and emerging technologies.  We can pass this knowledge along and make ourselves more useful.  I thought I was pretty 2.0 suave and found I needed to learn a few "things."  I believe the knowledge I gained from this experience will assist me in both my work and personal life.

Thing 23

 I searched the Health and Wellness Resource Center (Gale) for PCOS also know as Polycystic ovary syndrome, which I have.  It was easy to get results.  I did notice that most of the databases are from Gale.  It wouls assist patrons in finding documentation on most subjects.  It would be great for doing research papers.

Thing 22

I started an account at Library Thing.  It was easy to set up and once I got started it was hard to stop.

Thing 21

I always wanted an avatar but did not how to make one.  I used Meez.  It was not hard to do but I did have to creat an acct inorder for the right click save to work and it only worked in edit profile.  I have a second life acct. but do not use it much.  I got it to interact with my daughter.

Thing 20

I find it very difficult to remember all my passwords and to be able to change the regularly.  I under stand the need to keep my things private and especially for banking etc.
